The patch looks good, I'll test it too, monday. I don't expect any
trouble :)

[other win95/98/me issues]
The other issue I ran across has nothing to do with IPv6, but with
starting another aplication using backticks or similar methods: this
works ok when it is a 32-bit console app, but hangs when it starts a
16-bit app...
There is a simple fix, even though it is not pretty: create a 32-bit
stub application that calls the 16-bit app, and call the stub from php.
I know it has something to do with redirecting stdin and out, but I
don't know how to fix it. I have tried some alternative techniques, like
using `command /c` and writing my own 'execute' function with
windows-calls like CreateProcess and such, but the problem is
persistent. My own execute-function did have the added benefit of being
able to hide the console-window that starts the process, so I kept it
:-)

BTW, this is not a problem unique to PHP, other applications may
experience the same problem. In fact, the stub-solution came from the MS
site (Q150956)....

This was posted mainly for the archives, but I added a note to the
documentation as well.

Cheerio, Marc.
